TOPIC: THE BLOOD OF JESUS

OPENING PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, help me to comprehend the concept of your precious blood.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Peter 1:17-21

17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

MEMORY VERSE:

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

Blood is the vital fluid that circulates through the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products. It is the core aspect of life. There are four components of blood: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Bible makes us understand that blood is the centre of life (Leviticus 17:11). The blood of Jesus symbolises the ultimate sacrifice and fulfilment of God’s covenant. The blood of Jesus represents cleansing, covenant and the foundation of the Christian life (Hebrews 9:14-15).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To understand the benefits of the blood of Jesus.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:
a. Know what blood represents in the human body.
b. Understand the significance of the blood of Jesus to believers.
c. State the benefits of the blood of Jesus.
d. Explain the requirements to be a beneficiary of the blood of Jesus.

TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:
a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignments.
b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Peter 1:17-21

A. The Apostle Peter, in his epistle to the pilgrims scattered in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, charged them to live in the reverent fear of God, who does not respect the person of a man in His judgement. Vs. 17.
B. He reminded them how God paid a ransom, costlier than gold or silver, through the precious blood of His sinless son Jesus Christ, to save them from the empty life they inherited from their ancestors. Vs. 18-19.
C. He declared that:
i. Jesus was foreordained… Vs. 20
ii. The People through Christ believe….. Vs. 21a
iii. God raised Jesus Christ from….. Vs. 21b
iv. Their faith and….. Vs. 21c

TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE BENEFITS

The teacher should ask the students to mention the benefits believers derive from the blood of Jesus.

i. As believers in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins by the blood of Jesus.
ii. We have been freed from the stain, shame, guilt, and consequence of sin (Hebrews 9:22; 1 John 1:7-9).
iii. Jesus’ shed blood paid the price necessary to redeem us (Hebrews 9:12; Ephesians 1:7).
iv. Jesus took the wrath we deserved on Him when He died, shed His blood and declared us justified (Romans 5:9).
v. Sin separated us from God, and the shed blood of Jesus reconciled us back to God (Colossians 1:20).
vi. We are washed in the blood of Jesus, consecrated, and set apart by God to be used as holy vessels (Hebrews 13:12).
vii. Those who believe in Jesus and place their faith in His finished work on the cross receive eternal life (John 3:36).
viii. We can boldly come into God’s presence at any time because of the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19; Ephesians 2:13).
ix. Jesus came as the fulfilment of the law (Romans 10:4).
x. By His death, He brought the New Covenant into effect. He shed His blood to guarantee the “better promises” of the New Covenant to all who believe in Him. (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:6).
xi. We are healed by His blood (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24).
xii. We are victorious. The events of the Passover during the Exodus from Egypt were a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross (Exodus 12:13; Revelation 12:11).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Why do some believers still struggle with guilt and fear after benefitting from Jesus’ sacrifice?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BENEFICIARY

1. Salvation: This is a major prerequisite (John 1:12). The blood of Jesus only works for those who belong to Him. You must repent, believe in Jesus, and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour before you can partake of His blood (Ephesians 1:7).
2. Obedience: You must be ready to obey God through His word (Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 6:16-18).
3. Confession and Testimony: This is about declaring faith in Christ, confessing what His blood has done in your life, and testifying about your salvation and redemption (Romans 10:9-10; Revelation 12:11).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Why is salvation and confession essential before anyone benefits from Jesus’ blood?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 13 September 2026

Victorious Christians are bold and unashamed to declare the name of Jesus Christ and the power in His blood.

EVALUATION:

State at least seven benefits of the blood of Jesus.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Jesus, You shed Your blood for me, please let Your blood work wonders in my life.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 2

List five (5) situations in a believer’s life where the power of the blood of Jesus can be declared or applied (2X5=10 marks).

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 1 (6 SEPTEMBER 2026)

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, help me to understand your nearness and active involvement in my affairs.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Psalm 139:1-5

1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

MEMORY VERSE:

“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:17.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

The immanence of God refers to His presence, nearness, and active involvement in His creation and in the lives of His people. It is the biblical truth that God is not distant, or merely observing from afar; He is close, attentive, connected and relational. This is different from His transcendence, which means that God is above, infinitely greater, more powerful, distant and separate from the material universe, existing beyond and utterly distinct from everything He created (Jeremiah 23:23; Isaiah 55:9).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM: To understand the concept of God’s immanence.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES: Through this lesson, students should be able to:
a. Explain the concept of God’s immanence.
b. Give biblical instances of God’s immanence.
c. Highlight the implications of God’s immanence.

TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:
a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignments.
b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Psalm 139:1-5

Here, the Psalmist proclaims that the knowledge of God about him (and by implication about all men) is all encompassing and there is nothing about him that is hidden from God. He said:

A. O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. Vs. 1
B. Then he went ahead to list some of the things he believes that God knows about him:
i. Thou knowest my downsitting….. Vs. 2a
ii. Thou understandest my….. Vs. 2b
iii. Thou compassest and my….. Vs. 3a
iv. Art acquainted….. Vs. 3b
v. For there is….Vs. 4
vi. Thou hast beset me…..Vs. 5

TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: BIBLICAL INSTANCES

A. God has always been present with and involved in the world He created, especially with His people.
i. At creation, God formed Adam “from the dust” and breathed life into him (Genesis 2:7).
ii. God’s voice was heard “walking in the garden” (Genesis 3:8).
iii. The burning bush reveals God’s personal call to Moses (Exodus 3:4) as well as His awareness, compassion, and active response to the affliction of His people (Exodus 3:7).
iv. God’s presence dwelt among Israel in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:8), and His glory (visibly) filled the temple (1 Kings 8:10-11).
v. David declares God’s inescapable nearness: whether in the heavens, depths, or darkness, God is there (Psalm 139:7).
vi. 1 Kings 19:12 reveals God’s personal and intimate way of speaking to His prophets.

B. Jesus, becoming God in the flesh (John 1:14), is the ultimate act of divine immanence.
i. “Immanuel” means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
ii. He came to the earth, walked, talked, healed, cried and ate with people.
iii. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come to dwell in believers (John 14:17).
iv. The Spirit is not just near but indwelling, guiding, and teaching us (John 14:26).
v. Christ remains present with His people through the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:20).

C. In the New Heavens and New Earth, God will dwell fully and forever with His people (Revelation 21:3). This is the eternal expression of God’s immanence.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

The class should discuss whether God is truly present and involved in the world today, especially with the negative occurrences. They can share their life experiences.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE IMPLICATIONS

1. God is accessible – We can pray and hear from Him (1 John 5:14-15).
2. God is personal – God knows our thoughts, fears, and desires (Psalm 139:1-3).
3. God is compassionate – He sees suffering and acts accordingly (Exodus 3:7-8).
4. God disciplines and guides – As a Father does (Hebrews 12:6-7).
5. God is worthy of worship – Not just as Creator but as a loving Father (Revelation 15:4).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Which of these implications of God’s character do people find hard to believe or experience?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 6 September 2026

God is not far from believers in Christ: “for in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:27-28).

EVALUATION:

Mention four implications of God’s immanence.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, let me enjoy more of your presence, nearness and active involvement in my life in Jesus’ name.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 1

In what area(s) do you want God to show His immanence? Speak to Him now and have faith that He will show up for you (No mark).
